Seiunchin Kata - Goju-ryu

While I am an Isshinryu stylist at heart, I also study Goju-ryu and prefer Goju-ryu Seiunchin.

Yes, I've seen many variations of this kata. It comes down to each individual lineage. I tend to follow the Jundokan lineage. My teacher is Tokumura Kensho of Okinawa, who trained under Eiichi Miyazato, who was over the Jundokan after Miyagi Chojun. But I also focus more on the principles of the kata more so than the exact techniques. This keeps my mind open to continue to learn from the kata no matter how many time I do the kata.

@popaulki Why insult me because of my nationality? I did not create an account on YT to bicker and fight with people about who is better or knows more. I am only here to share and learn with anyone, no matter who they are or from what country they live. I enjoy learning the different ways people train and approach their martial arts.

@chago6962 I was taught Goju Ryu Seiunchin by Tokumura Kensho Sensei of Okinawa. His teacher was Miyazato Eiichi Sensei. That's about as Goju Ryu as you get. Besides, I didn't put these videos on Youtube to teach anyone. I put them on here to share. I just find it humorous when people nitpick technicalities of a performance, when what is important is whether or not the practiitioner understands the principles taught in the kata. Kata is much more than the uraken and kiai.

@isshinrob

I must remind you that seiuchin kata is originally from the goju ryu style, which is previous style to the ishinryu

[chago6962]

@SuperWipiti Yes when doing the uraken to the front don't leave the fist so forward after executing.

@jstallings342 Offer yourself to teach what you know

@ikke3wie3anders3 Any other critique to isshinrob's kata besides kiais???!!!!

[janamswag]

Nice stances and good gedan barais

[altemarsabino]

até a metade do kata foi bem, depois atropelou a execução. De forma geral foi bom, mas tem que melhorar...........

Rob...very good kata! Though through my GoJu lineage, there are some VERY slight variations in the performance, the bunkai remains the same. Which is one of the things that makes this one of my favorite kata. Excellent dance, karate-ka! Oss!
